[Droid X General] VelcroHalo:
Worth a shot...

You can try using the motorola troubleshooter. Its what they use to update your phone anyways and since the new update came out you might be able to install over what you did...I cant post a link because Im new but follow the instructions below and it will walk you through the update process via computer. I figure with a phone thats not working its worth a shot.

Go to Motorola's website and click the droid advert right on the left side of the screen.

Under the "Support" tab in the upper right hand corner is another tab called "Owner Support" click on that.

On the left hand side there are more tabs so this time click on "Update My Software"

It will give you a list of options, choose "Via Computer"

From here it will check your computer for their software and prompt you to download it. Its the troubleshooting software and it will ask you a few questions, its also what they use to update your software via computer so it may be capable of flashing your phone for you. Best of luck and let us know what the end result is.
[Droid X General] apinkel:
I haven't tried either of these... but I'm about to start flashing a droid X to cricket and bookmarked these posts in case I mess something up. Proceed with caution as I have no first hand experience with these.

I'm still trying to get a handle on if the service programming parameters (the spc, MDN, MIN, SID, etc.) are updated as part of baseband updates, it sounds like they are since they are saying the device needs to be re-activated after applying either of these updates.

If a baseband update refreshes the service programming parameters here are the two ways I've found of updating the baseband:

Here's a link to a post for updating the baseband portion of your device (without updating the ROM):

http://alldroid.org/Default.aspx?tabid=62&g=posts&t=246

I don't know if this will work on a device that doesn't have a valid baseband prior to the update. Regardless, if your phone is bricked this may be a valid option to try.

There is also a 2.1 SPL file floating around which is the entire system image, the baseband and the rom. You will need to use rsdlite to apply this image to your phone. DO NOT APPLY THIS IF YOU ARE RUNNING FROYO.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markjoel60:
Hey, I have an HTC Droid Incredible, and a MyFi mobile hotspot (yeah, big red LOVES me!)

My questions is this: I carry the MiFi because I do a demo for my company that opens an HTTP channel using an IP address. So, I use the miFi to login two computers, look at their IP address, and set my software accordingly.

My question is: Does the WIFI Tether create a separate IP address for each computer that is using it? (ie does it function exactly like my MiFi does?) Or is it doing some prestidigitation under the covers that makes it SEEM like it is a real WIFI connection? (I am not using HTTPS, btw. Just HTTP, if this makes a difference....)

If this would work, I'll root my Incredible, and ditch the MiFi...

THANKS!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markjoel60:
OK, I'm bumping this... Hate to be a nag -- but no one knows whether the Tether gives an IP address?

The reason I need to know is if it doesn't, I'll be staying with the stock and buying the IP Tether service when it Froyo comes available... but I'd rather root the phone and get the IP tether now...

Can anyone who has it help me out? Just connect 2 devices and do an IPconfig to see what the ip address on your computer is...

Anyone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markjoel60:
OK... NVM. I got the answer on another forum.

The answer, btw, is yes.

I am coming from an evo 4g and would like to know what odin is/used for. on the evo I only ever had to use adb. is it necessary to have or is it more like htc sync. ie only needed in certain circumstances. thanks in advance for the input

This question belongs in the General section not Development.
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
dude why must you say that to everyone youre really not helping ive seen you in about 3 threads already saying the same thing post something a little help and then suggest that they move it i left the 32b section and was hoping that this section would be a little better and more helpful cause for right now the community for our phone is small and we need whoever is here to be helpful
[Vibrant General] LovellKid:
He's exactly right... because this subforum is just starting up, everything needs to be in its appropriate section. It will make everthing easier when this starts to pick up and you need to go back and find something. No one who wants to flash a custom rom wants to read questions about apps. So no hatin involved, lets just put stuff in the appropriate spots ;)
[Vibrant General] TGA_Gunnman:
Check again I did help. I am more that willing to help out. Just check all of my post history. I am just trying to keep dev area clean (on this new Thread) so that the posts you see here are all dealing with Development, fixes , etc..

I say keep it up. We need someone to start doing it, so we can keep this forum awesome. Thanks from me... :)
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
yes i understand that but to the op you really didnt help at all thats what i mean im not saying your wrong at all im just saying help the guy even though he posted in the wrong spot and then ask him to move it cause hes in the wrong section thats all
[Vibrant General] blazewit:
honestly i was going under the assumtion that odin was some program you had to use to flash roms or something along those lines. How would i go about transfering it to the general section?
[Vibrant General] tq745:
none of you are helping at all. if you don't have anything helpful at all to contribute then don't say anything at all. saying stuff like this doesn't belong here isn't helpful at all and all it does is clutter the thread. if it needs to be moved then let a mod decide on that.

as for answering the op's question...

Odin is the program you use to flash phones.

'Odin Multi Downloader v3.95.exe' is used to flash the Samsung Galaxy. It's usually included in firmware packs.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:

[Vibrant General] blazewit:
when you say firm ware like when you flash new kernals/roms or updating hardware like the radio and such? or do you mean the version of android itself? also do you have to use odin or can you just get a .zip of the firm ware/rom then flash it in recovery mode?
[Vibrant General] bessertier:
Id say 99.999% of the time no one mods the hardware, the roms are essentially like OS's, and firmware is like a bios, it translates what the rom wants us to do into how the hardware is going to do it.

Yes I realize this is not a perfect analogy, and no offense to the OP, this is just a basic rundown for anyone starting out.

On a Vibrant, using this app-thingy
[Vibrant General] beb38138:
Odin is a tool used for downloading new rom's or software to the phone. you need to put the phone into download mode to get odin to recognize it. Be very careful as to how you use this software, it can brick your phone if you mess up and don't do it right.

The new contract price for the att Captivate = $0.00 from letstalk.com. Earlier today, the no contract price was $229.99 but they have since changed it to $499.99. I'm going to have a good look at the Captivate today since I've only seen the Vibrant. And then if all is smooth enough, I'll give it a try by ordering it on letstalk tomorrow morning, meanwhile I'll hold on to the iPhone 4 because if the Cap doesn't work out for me, I'm done looking for my next phone for at least a few months or till the end of the year.

cool!

you can probably shave off the ugry ATT logo from the top :p

and then flash it with a generic rom ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
It seems that it's only free if you pick the more expensive plans. The 450 minutes plan is not an option, only the 900 minutes or the unlimited minutes. (try adding it to your cart, it will take you to a screen where you pick your plan)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Still, this is a better deal that what AT&T offers.

FYI, the phone is available with the 450minute plan at Amazon for $99 with a new service plan (I'm not sure if there would be an activation fee, but it'd have free shipping and cheaper than AT&T).

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AshMa:
Anyone wanting to order the Captivate online, I HIGHLY recommend checking one out at an att store beforehand. The moment I picked it up, I already new it just wasn't that inspiring design wise. I would def say the other versions look better in person.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] VisualOddity:
Just curious. I always see people talking about making or sharing wallpaper cab's, and I am wondering what the advantage is of doing it that way instead of just saving pics to the storage card and setting from there? That''s what I do, but maybe I am missing a better way in these .cabs...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] negawolf:
It's called HDwall. By default, the quality of wallpaper in HD2 is low..seems kinda blur. With this cab, it is possible to get higher wallpaper quality. Also u can set the taskbar and softkeybar background (u can make it looks as if transparent).

But that's old time.

With the new CHT 1.8.5 there's no need such application. It has this ability built in.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tnyynt:
Because CAB files which contain wallpapers in Manila format can overwrite original manila files.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
That is correct but i´m sure not all People using Cookies. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matmaneyre:
Then they should be...where have they been?? :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Dic3ptor:
That is correct too! I love cookies and it is easy!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] GoRRaN:
i love coOkies too but after installing them my HD2 freezes :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lhernana2j:
I never figured out how to use Cookies with the wall cabs. I enable it then what? I have HD wall installed but either way I have to go to the cab file and use it that way. It makes me reset the phone whenever I change the wallpaper. Help?? Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] negawolf:
man...u've done wrong...if u installed cht. no need anything else. that would make it crash. cht got everything. hdwall, bg4all tab. just cookie. np need anything else.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kwasmir:
After the HDWall thingy installed via CHT 1.8 - I have an issue.

I do have plenty of sweet backgrounds to chose from. It all works fine with CHT except a feature that I did love very much - the Randomnes.

I have for several years both on Diamond and on HD2 used a .cab named:

Kevin2u Diamond Background Changer v015.

This .cab would pick a random picture from a designated folder every x minute as your liked it. After CHT v1.8 - this ain't working anymore. On CHT v1.7 it worked.

Have any of you guys been able to get a random picture prg. to run on top of CHT v1.8?

If so help me see the light as I really miss the feature that my phone has a new background every now and then when I grab it without manually picking a new picture.

Kindly

Kwas

Nevermind - Search Function did this one for me - sorry for bothering
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lhernana2j:
So I go to miscellaneous settings and check what under wallpaper Regular, HD Wall or HQ Wall? I have tried them all but only the hd wall setting lets me access the Regular wallpapers not the cab files. Help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Android_King:
so I have a question. If I installed the latest version of CHT, I already have HD Walls installed? all I have to do now is check HDwall in miscellaneous settings, download the cab for the wallpaper, install, and soft reset? Do I install to the card or device? And one more question, Do I have to uninstall aything to change to another HD wallpaper? Sorry for all the noob questions
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lhernana2j:
Actually you can dl the cab and just run it without anything (Ithink). It's all within the cab. I believe hd wall is the organizer but it never worked for me. Not sure how CHT works in with this.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matmaneyre:
You don't need to install any cabs with CHT (1.8.5 at least, can't remember about 1.7).

From the home screen tap Menu>>Set Wallpaper. All of the options are there on the next screen (Home Tab, All Tabs, Lockscreen, Taskbar Skinning)

Sometimes the things in front of your eyes are the hardest to find!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MMAwarrior:
Hi guys, I tried the search function as well but can't seem to find a solution to my problem.. Help is much much appreciated!

I'm on the Artimis Rom v25, with cookies 1.8.5, i downloaded the .cab wallpaper, tried to install.. didnt work, i downloaded the wallpaper fix download, Didnt work so i gave up... so i tried to go back to cookies editor to change my wallpaper back to the one i had, and it didnt work. I have a totally back wallpaper and can't seem to change it in anyway!

HelPPP i'm losing it!!......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lhernana2j:
Actually I have seen that but I was hoping to use some of the beautiful screens that were in those cabs. So in essence you have to dl some wallpapers and then use the settings you described. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matmaneyre:
That's correct. If you really want the wallpapers that are in the cabs, I believe you can open the cab files on your pc and extract them manually. Don't quote me on that but it would seem logical. Or you could ask the OP of any walls you like to point you in the direction of the source.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lhernana2j:
I have tried that but there is no image file inside the cab. Thanks again. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] randalltroy:
Im using CHT 1.8.5 and I also install hdwall on my hd2 , just because i have 30 or more cabs, all with thumbs and the HDwall app gives you the ability to preview.You just dont have to install the patch anymore..It doesnt crash my HD2at with this configuration.

Hi,

I don't have wifi at home, but I wanna do some surfing on my laptop, without being connected to Internet with wires.

So I got an idea: why don't I use the wifi router program on my HD2? I can connect it to my desktop computer (it's connected to the internet with a wire), and then turn it into a wifi router. But apparently it only works with GPRS to Wifi, not Active Sync to wifi.

Is it possible to do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br4nd0nh347:
So you are trying to do this:

PC -> HTCHD2 (Wifi Router)-> Laptop

Sorry I'm not sure if you can do that.

If you have 3G, it should be sufficient and you can charge the phone while using it as a router. Hopefully someone else can spread more light on this subject.

Hi all,

I have just aquired my first Android (aka HTC Desire) after becoming all to familiar with Windows mobile!

My phone is from vodaphone with Android 2.1 and bootloader .80 version. I am unsure if it is branded but i suspect that it is as there is as vodaphone scene amongst the installed htc scenes although there dosn't appear to be anything else 'vodaphone' on the handset.

I have trailed through many forums (mostly this one) but haven't been able to provide wholly satisfactory answers to my questions and was hoping some kind sole would take the time to assist me for which i would be eternally greatful!:

Here goes:

My object is to flash my device with Froyo with the sense ui embedded which i have allready seen.

1. Is my phone actually branded and, if so, do i have to address this before i can continue. If the answer is yes, could somebody point me in the right direction?

2. Do i need to root my device to install Froyo and, if so, again could somebody please point me in the right direction(bootloader .80)

3. Assuming success, can somebody point me to where and how i can locate and install the best version of Froyo with embedded htc sense for my device.

If this is impossible with my device, i would appreciate someone in the know to break the sad news to me and i will wait (with my allready full Desire) for Vodaphone to send me my Froyo update! (perhaps for Christmas if that's not too optimistic.:confused:
[Android Software Development] jdebunt85:
1) is it branded? if its issued by vodaphone, chances are it is.

To root branded devices, you'll need a goldcard, follow this link (its specific for htc desire) :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6710085&postcount=3

2) to install froyo BEFORE the official release , yes you'll need to root it.

It's quite an easy process, took me under a minute using a one-click program.

Rooting guide :

3) best version of froyo with sense ... hmm :)

i'm using DeVillianRom but that's just my opinion of course :)

all roms can be found here :

hope this helps, make sure you check the HTC desire section regularly :)
[Android Software Development] bobsie41:
Thanks jdebunt for your prompt reply.

I will be trying this out tomorrow morning and i am very grateful for your time and help.

After a year of 'messing' with windows mobile i was actually able to assist people with various problems! I have had an Android for one week now and have found this forum invaluable for understanding this excellent (almost) device.

I say almost as, after researching the Android platform, i failed to notice the lack of embedded apps2sd (until Froyo) which i think is a critical ommission.

Sorry to waffle on and thanks again and i will report back as to how it goes.

(One week old.....bricked???)
[Android Software Development] jdebunt85:
no problem, glad i could help :)

i do indeed rejoice at the sight of installing apps on SD because of the 2.2 roms, tho sometimes the apps load very slow...but that'll be sorted soon probably :)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
That's normal because while you're in recovery, the system hasn't loaded yet, and the 'remount' command isn't available at that time. I'm not 100% sure, but someone, please correct me if I'm wrong :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] houmi1:
I used to have random reboots on Nexus One, but after updating to Froyo 2.2 (before the official release), I had noticed the random reboots to get more (like 2-3 a day), but now the phone is totally useless, it does reboot constantly, and when it's connected to Power, it reboots couple of times, then gets stack at the Nexus logo.

I have put the stock firmware back, EPE54B, and it even detected 2.2 and Google pushed me the official release and still no go (yes, I did clear cache, etc)

I loaded up the log program and checked the logs after a reboot to see if it was some sort of kernel panic or something, but it does not show anything per say.

I even tried w/o SIM or w/o memory card and the results were not conclusive, it worked for some time, then started rebooting on its own. Sometimes I notice the phone is very hot, which makes me think that it might be faulty hardware (ram, etc)

Has anyone seen such an occurence, would HTC repair the device now the bootloader is unlocked or is this just a thin paper weight ? I think I read someplace that they still honor hardware repair...

Thanks,

Houman
